Haim,re:"HWP". Don't be too critical of HP. Afterall, like SUNW said, it validates the 'Java-concept' and 'trend'. It's should be good news. It means the 'crack' on MSFT monopoly is sliced open slightly. Trace the problem INTEL has with the clones and AMD/CYRIX are not of same caliber as SUNW/HWP/(soon to be JVM builder). Sun has a Java-virutal-machine (according to JVM specification). HWP also has a Java-virtual-machine (same JVM specification). If one writes Java-compliance program, it runs on JVM, regardless of from HWP or SUNW. EXPECT MORE JVM to come, exclude MSFT. MSFT has its variety of J++, which is designed not to run on any Non-MSFT J++ compliance machine. As they said, one lives by the sword and dies by the sword. This only says the 'network-model' will be growing faster than the 'desk-top' model. HWP didn't break law or try to wrestle Java from Sunw or mess it up (like MSFT). It just business decision to cut cost ("execessvie" license fee). I feel positive on this news, but then WS says no to SUNW(actually, it is a down day for ALL/MOST TECH).
